This page contains all the input for a tool called "Shepherd". Please feel free to add suggestions an content. There is a thread containing much more information which could be added here.

Contents

Technical background

  • please feel free to add...

Requirements

  • please feel free to add...

Predicates

  • location (position, allowed radius, accurazy, speed)
  • time of day / day of week (cron style or whatever)
  • time interval
  • internet connection (cell connection vs wifi--including ESSID)
  • Connected Bluetooth devices
  • battery level

And of course a mix out of more than one predicate. There should be a kind of grammar which allows to use operators like AND/OR/NOT. There also should be a possibility to priorize the rules.

  • close an app
  • set profile (ringer, volume, etc)
  • toggle FM transmitter
  • run general script, which can totally open up opportunities
  • Start or Stop Instant Messaging services, Skype or VoIP-Services
  • Switch status of IM Accounts
  • Get emails for specific accounts
  • Trigger sharing services (e.g. Upload new photos to flickr)
  • Do software upgrades in background
